hmm didn't expect that thourough of an answer, but yeah that makes sense, but if the next Xbox is supposed to be like a media center, wouldn't it have like 128 mb as well??

Like when the first memory cards for other system's came out, they got upgraded later and had like Twice the memory..... don't you think microsoft would be smart enough to not print 64mb on the mem card slot??? i mean their the leaders in all things Computers right now..

And,

I put the phone-number (or w/e it could be) into google, and it came up with some beauty salon place (called Pazaaz)
Here's a link to a map to the place
... it got the info from this site:
Click Here.

I'm not sure if it has any relavence to the two women at the start of the MTV XboX 360 Teaser, but who knows??

CLARIFICATION TIME!

What we are looking at, is a 64MB Xbox 360 Memory Unit, sticking out of the front of the Xbox 360. It plugs into a Memory Unit Slot, which there are two of. Each of these slots is covered by a folding "door". Inside the slot, there is a custom USB connector, EXACTLY the same as the one on the Xbox 1 controllers.

Now, the Xbox 360 memory units will come in sizes ranging from 64MB, up to 1024MB (1GB). Now, due to the fact that they connect via USB, they are just USB 2.0 flash drives in a custom case. Just like the Xbox 1 Memory Units were USB 1.1 flash drives in a custom case. Now, they should work in the Xbox 360, in order to allow you to transfer your saves.

In addition, Xbox Memory Units should work in the Xbox 1.

Now, as for the reason why the slots are present on the console itself and not the controllers, is because there isn't enough bandwidth between the controller and the console wirelessly. There is enough for controller signals and audio, and although you could transfer save data wirelessly, it would be VERY slow.

Now, I know what you are thinking. If the Memory Unit slots are on the console, what about LIVE? Simple! You no longer need the Xbox communicator module (that unit you plug into your controller, which you then jack your headset into). Now, you just jack the 2.5mm headset plug into a port on the controller itself. The volume dial and mute button are now on the controller aswell.

Is that all clear? Finally, the Hard Drive module for the Xbox 360 is OPTIONAL! It slides in on the left side of the console if it is lying down, or on the top if it is standing upright.

Now, is that ALL clear? Any more questions?

most of that has not been released, and the from 64mb up to 1024mb (1gig) wtf are you smoking???? where are you getting your info froM?? or is this just what it will be in your mind?? Confused

For the debut of a new system like Xbox 360, E3 would fit pretty well

So far the standout numbers within the images are coinciding.

The controller images have 1s.
The Ferrari does indeed include a 3 now.
The memory card displays 6 4 3 with the 7, or looking closer.. a ?
etc..

as many have stated...just a thought.

Well, if you can think of a better answer, I'd like to hear it.

Take the HDD for example. The placement of the hard drive, is based on information from engadget, as well as a picture showing a panel on the side reading 40GB. In a different picture, there was just a metal plate. Obvious that you remove the plate and slot the HDD in.

As for the Memory Units, well I forgot where I got that info from. GameSpot I think. But it's obvious that they are providing at least a 64MB Memory Unit. As for them being flash drives, we know this because with an Xbox USB adaptor, any USB flash drive that supports the Mass Storage protocol can be used as a Memory Unit.

EDIT: Here are some of the places I got info from:

http://xbox.gamespy.com/xbox/microsoft-xbox/594331p1.html
(This link contains the information about the Memory Units.)

http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000400041113/
(This link contains information showing where the HDD slots in. This contains a picture of a 40GB HDD installed.)

http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000913041045/
(This link contains information showing where the HDD slots in. This contains a picture of the metal panel installed, when you don't have the HDD inserted.)

Thanks Jalexster for spelling it out for us, and I think you are right on the money. We shouldn't be feeding into Raiden though. Raiden if you want to discuss rumors about the XBOX2 itself please take it to another forum, this thread is meant to discuss any puzzle that might be hidden in this reward picture or any of the others.

kinda off topic,

err not sure if anyone has noticed this before, but do you know why the number 512 has been used so much in this campaign?

Let's look at the bit count for consoles, starting with the NES:

NES: 8-bit
Snes: 16-bit
Playstation: 32-Bit
N64:64-Bit
Gamecube: 128-Bit
Xbox: 256-Bit
Xbox 360: ?512-Bit?

Powers of 2, like in binary? Just a thought (correct me if I'm wrong about the bit counts...)

More like...

NES: 8-bit
Snes: 16-bit
Playstation: 32-Bit
N64: 32-Bit with some 64-bit extensions
PS2: 32-bit with a few crappy 128-bit vector units (way to hard to program for, and therefore mainly useless)
Gamecube: 32-Bit with a great 64-bit vector unit (I think)
Xbox: 32-bit with a crappy, probably 32-bit vector unit.
PS3: 64-bit with some 128-bit vector units.
Xbox 360: 64-bit with some 128-bit vector units.
Revolution: 64-bit with some 128-bit vector units.

If you couldn't tell, all three next gen systems are using very similar processors. All G5 (POWER4) variants, with Altivec style vector units (vector unit handles stuff like physics, water, particle effects, etc...).

Actually, Intel is stale. AMD and IBM are doing the heavy lifting and development. Intel processors kinda... SUCK LIKE NOTHING CAN COMPARE.
